Abstract

Silicon plasma dry etching Microsensor Chemical sensor Microcoil Microspring
This paper reports the fabrication of a novel microsensor structure using inductively coupled plasma source (ICP) dry etching process. The novel sensor is based on a SiO 2/Si/SU-8 trilayered microcoil/microspring structure. The diameter of the microcoil was approximately 600 μm. The ICP process and SU-8 exposing time are discussed. The SiO 2 layer can be conveniently modified according to typical silica surface modification procedures. The microcoils could expand or contract upon interaction of specific species in the environment with receptors on the SiO 2 surface due to the surface stress or energy applied on the SiO 2 surface of the microcoil. This microcoil device may be widely used in biomedical and chemical sensing applications.
